Affection for Sidaogou during the Famine

Xiao Sanzi waved his hands nonchalantly, "Our teacher asked us to hand in five kilograms, hey, he is just talking in his sleep!

Who can complete it? There are six people in my family, and everyone has a task, and our street also has a role to play.

Even if we calculate it as five kilograms in total, my family will have to hand over at least thirty kilograms of iron.

My house is not a blacksmith shop, where did I get so much? Did I steal it? Even if I stole it, there is no place to steal it!

You see, everyone walking on the street now has their eyes busy, as if they can look three feet into the ground, always hoping to pick up a nail or wire head. "

Han Zhaozhao and the other man didn't really pay attention to this matter. They observed as they walked and found that it was true.

Niu Xiaoyun was so worried, "What should I do? If I can't hand it in at all, I will definitely be criticized by the teacher."

"Why think so much? When a car reaches a mountain, there will be a way; when a boat reaches a bridge, it will naturally go straight!

It's not just our families that are having difficulties; every family is facing the same problem now.

If we can't hand it in, then others can't hand it in either? The deadline for handing in the ironware has not yet come. Let's see how others solve it and learn from them!"

Han Zhaozhao was well prepared. When the Great Leap Forward in Steel Production just began, she asked her grandmother to spend three yuan to buy 100 kilograms of scrap iron from the scrap collection station to deal with this situation.

Xiao Sanzi was not in a hurry either. His father had also prepared a backup plan. He and his co-workers jointly paid to buy the used parts discarded by the fleet.

If pushed to a certain point, their family can take over.

"Zhao Zhao, let's go to your house tonight to do homework and discuss something." The third child squinted his eyes, implying that he had something to say.

Isn't it just about the mountain? Han Zhaozhao's heart was like a beacon.

She hadn't been up the mountain for a week, and she was actually very anxious.

This is the bad thing about going to school, it's too restrictive and you don't have any freedom in your time.

The beans, corn, and millet on the mountain should be harvested, and there is no time to go up the mountain. She knows that everyone is very anxious.

The food at your fingertips will be wasted if it rains heavily.

In her grandmother's words, if you trample on food, you will be struck by lightning.

Han Zhaozhao frowned whenever she thought of this. Fortunately, her grandmother was at home when she said this, and no one else heard it except the two of them.

The old lady was not careful with her words. The social situation is becoming more and more dangerous now. One wrong word can bring you into trouble.

The mother and daughter had talked at home and decided to be as silent as possible when they went out. They would not speak in front of strangers if possible, but would work more and smile more.

After returning home, putting down their schoolbags, the children picked up their bowls and chopsticks and ran to the cafeteria.

In the cafeteria, the food has been prepared and the aroma fills the air.

"Zhao Zhao, Xiao Yun, there must be braised pork tonight. It smells so good, I know it as soon as I smell it!"

Niu Xiaoyun: "It's as if you're the only one with a nose. Can't we smell it?"

The canteen has only been open for a few days, and the food provided is sufficient.

The policy implemented at that time was "one equalization and two adjustments". To put it bluntly, the food in all the canteens in the capital was evenly distributed, allocated and supplied free of charge.

Every public canteen will allow for free food intake, and food that is not eaten in time will be allocated to other canteens.

So you can make big white steamed buns at will, eat as much white rice as you want, and eat big chunks of fat pork.

On the walls of the canteen, there are inscriptions such as "Eat for free, work hard to produce!" and "The public canteen is our big family!"

There are rows of tables and long benches.

This public canteen was converted from a hotel, and the dining room consists of three large rooms covering an area of ​​about 100 square meters.

A second courtyard was built inside, and the wide patio was filled with tables and benches.

There were more than a dozen women busy cooking in the canteen kitchen. The restaurant was also closed, and two chefs were in the back kitchen directing the cooking.

There was a large jar at the door that could hold 200 kilograms of rice. It was filled with rice.

There were pots of braised pork on the table, with no limit on the amount, just like the buffets of later generations, as long as there was enough for one table, they could start eating.

You can get your own rice from the big jar and get more after you finish eating. The same goes for the dishes on the table. Once you finish eating, just shout and the waiter will bring you another bowl.

As long as you have a big stomach, you can eat as much as you want.

The three children didn't have to wait for the adults at home. They just looked for an empty seat at a table, got their food and started eating.

Everyone in the cafeteria had a smile on their face. There was no need to fight or quarrel, and everyone was well fed.

Some old men and women kept saying while eating: "The Communist Party is good, Chairman Mao is good, socialism is good!"

"Rice is eaten by the jar, steamed buns are piled up into mountains, meat is stewed in fans, and vegetables are cooked with a large shovel.

Oh, there have been so many dynasties in history, but none of them were led as well as the Communist Party! "

"Haha, eating out doesn't cost money, and you don't have to wait until the beginning of the month to queue up in the middle of the night to buy food. Public canteens are great!"

The old men and women ate their meals slowly with their toothless mouths.

Young people and children are not so particular and just pounce vigorously.

There was too much food, but we didn't cherish it! From time to time, we could see pieces of meat and rice falling on the ground, and the table was full of juice. It was like bandits entering the village, and everything was in a mess.

Meals from the canteen can only be eaten here and are not allowed to be taken home. There are two black porcelain jars in the corner, which are used to pour out leftovers.

The uneaten food was taken in large jars to the pig farms on the outskirts of the city.

Many elderly people are also heartbroken, but there is nothing they can do. These days, no one dares to speak or ask.

Someone complained: "It's such a waste of people. The food that pigs eat is worse than what we used to eat. People are really worse than pigs!"

After being reported, he was criticized for undermining people's unity and disrupting the public canteen system and was locked up.

There were five or six similar incidents in their street alone. Suddenly, everyone fell silent!

"Eat when you have food to eat, drink when you have drink to drink, drink while you have wine, don't worry about other things!" The wise old man advised his family.

No one commented on this, everyone applauded and cheered, saying, "Great public canteen, long live the Communist Party!"

Han Zhaozhao tried hard to accept it all and just ate his meal in silence.

The students here have just finished their meal and their parents have gone off work.

Those who had food supplies at work ate at the work place, and the old lady also had her meal in the public canteen of the supply and marketing cooperative.

That night, when it was late at night and everyone was asleep, Han Zhaozhao and his men, led by Qian Shuangxi, entered the mountain overnight.

They didn't dare turn on the lights and hurried on in the dark. Fortunately, the moon in the sky was very bright. They were familiar with this road after walking for half a year and didn't bump into anything along the way.

After safely entering the mountain, Qian Shuangxi found the sacks and baskets he had hidden in advance.

Everyone worked together to pick corn in the dark.

In the silent night, no one spoke in the valley, only the "crunch, crunch" and "rustle" sounds of corn stalks rubbing against each other and the chirping of insects in the mountains.

Everyone walked side by side along the ridge in the same direction, and because there were so many people, no one was afraid.

After working for a whole night, when it was almost dawn, Qian Shuangxi led a few children and walked deeper into the mountains for more than an hour until they arrived in front of a mountain wall.

He moved two large stone slabs aside and crawled into a cave that was only one and a half meters in size.

After crawling about two meters inside, the children were surprised to see a bright window inside.

It turned out that there was a stone cave of more than 50 square meters.

The cave was very clean, as if it had been cleaned in advance.
